Weddings at Trinchera

A Mountain Wedding, Set Apart by Scale

For couples who want a wedding defined by meaningful time with those dearest to them, Trinchera offers a private mountain setting with scale: 172,000 acres of protected land, a 16-room Lodge, two Reserve Residences and places across the Reserve for vows, dinners, toasts and time immersed in the outdoors.
This is a wedding weekend your guests experience together: morning hikes, fly fishing, wildlife watches, field lunches, cocktails as the sun sets, dinner at The Lodge and DarkSky stargazing after the music fades. We build the celebration around your people, your pace and the way you want the Reserve to be part of it.

The Chapel

A timeless sanctuary, for intimate, meaningful ceremonies
A short distance from The Lodge, The Chapel sits high against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains; a small adobe sanctuary built by Malcolm Forbes as a place of peace and reflection. Warm timber, mountain light and a bell that rings across the valley give ceremonies here a sense of stillness and authenticity. After vows, ring the bell together as a joyful marker that a new life together has begun.
